Peter Lindemann's article, at: 

   http://www.elixa.com/silver/lindmn.htm

...is one of the main sources of the "don't use salt" school of
thought. He has had "salt enhanced" CS looked at under the electron
microscope and verified that it has bigger particles than that made
without salt. 

The only catch is that he has not chosen to publish any data, as far
as I know, so we have to take his word for this, or spend hundreds of
dollars on testing ourselves. I know of nobody who has repeated his 
work *and* published the micrographs.

(If anybody *has*, please let me know!! Thanks.)

As Chuck says, it's easy enough not to use salt, and we've reached a 
fairly settled consensus not to. But folks have and are using salt 
and not dropping dead or turning grey from it as far as we've been 
able to learn, so there may be no definitive answer.

You're asking the right kind of questions, David. Just be patient 
with the confliction opinions you'll run across. You'll soon figure 
out that just about any method *can* be made to work, and that 
most improvements on the basics are no more than enhancements of 
something that already is adequate.

Be well,
